Quantitation of the Branch Lengths from Trichomes on the First Leaf Pair of Wild-Type, dis3-1, dis3-3, dis3-4, and dis3-T1 Plants
Wild Type | dis3-1 | dis3-3 | dis3-4 | dis3-T1 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Trichome branch length (μm) | |||||
Branch 1 | 236 ± 22a (n = 11) | 198 ± 52 (n = 10) | 163 ± 40* (n = 10) | 165 ± 50* (n = 14) | 210 ± 51 (n = 12) |
Branch 2 | 202 ± 48 (n = 11) | 148 ± 54* (n = 10) | 122 ± 40* (n = 10) | 112 ± 50* (n = 14) | 145 ± 34* (n = 12) |
Branch 3 | 178 ± 43 (n = 11) | 97 ± 48* (n = 10) | 62 ± 31* (n = 10) | 62 ± 26* (n = 14) | 102 ± 28* (n = 12) |
Mean length in μm ± sd; (*), significantly different compared to the wild type according to a Student's t test (P value < 0.05).
